If God didn't exist there wouldn't be Time (ie nothing new would have "ever" happened). |

Reason. Time itself is a witness. |

How does reason support the claim that if God didn't exist, time wouldn't exist? This just seems like a bare-assertion. |

The Logical flaw is that a recurring universe still needs a first time ie t=0 , when it first existed, because a universe depends on both space and time!
The what could possibly be behind the existence of time? an un-sentient being cannot be behind it for it doesn't have any intention. |

The universe doesn't depend on space and time, space and time depend on the universe as they are just variables of it, so the only logical flaws I see are with regards to your position.
There are plenty of options, but why even assume there has to be something behind the existence of time? That just leads to an infinite regress, because if something has to be behind the existence of time, then I can just ask what is behind that, and so on. an un-sentient being cannot be behind it for it doesn't have any intention. What makes you think intention is required? |

No, because the explanation for the universe could be that it is factually necessary, that doesn't mean it has a cause.

It's possible. it make no sense, the bigbang is something that pre-assume both time and space, what is t=0 and why ? Perhaps there had to be a universe at t=0... Perhaps it could be no other way, and was uncaused.

That's retarded. Intention is not needed for action lol |

All He needed to do was reveal that we were created in His invisible thoughts spoken into wavelengths of energy that don't exist as time, space or matter. In other words, the universe is only an illusion that's formed by processed energy through the processors of each of God's created "beings". With this knowledge, we know that the universe we look at is only an illusion, like a magic trick on us to make us believe that it's real. |
